The goal of the diocesan camping program is to help individuals of all ages deepen their sense of reverence and respect for themselves, their fellow human beings, the creation, and God. It also seeks to make each diocesan camp a "peaceful place apart" for nurturing, planning, reflection, exchange of ideas and a special sense of community.

Camp Stevens is nestled in 256 acres of pine-oak woodland at 4200 feet near the historic town of Julian. The harmony of its natural setting provides "a peaceful place apart" from urban life.



Camp Stevens offers 1-week sessions for boys and girls ages 8-16 during July and August as well as additional programs for adults and families throughout the year. Programs take place at Camp Stevens, in wilderness settings such as the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Baja California, and occasionally in Ecuador.
